1. The great news is that the Gates Foundation is going to fund the boys' father's work for 2 years. He has been working (and continues to work) day and night on proposals and plans to keep the work alive since the dissolution of USAID. His boss told him to celebrate last week because of an organization which had 70+ people, there are only 10 left and it's still going thanks in large part to him.

2. My work is going along. I am learning my clients' needs and preferences and ways. People live very differently, from very messy to very clean and that's interesting.

3. Trying to figure out when to fic and how to get myself in the mood & mindset to fic.

Not much else exciting going on.

Ryu and Ryua went camping again!

Love Letter from the Afterlife

Yesterday jhope of BTS performed at Lollapalooza in Berlin. Here's a fan cam (not great quality) of the song Killin' it Girl. I'm thinking this will be the last solo performance of his for a while. He did his world tour (which I caught in Brooklyn in April) and he is in his 'get naked/fuck boy' phase. :)

Good thing: after starting several years ago, I finally got around to cataloguing more of my books!

A thing: I am not done the books in my bedroom and I’m already over 400. (And this is after I culled/donated a bunch of sff mass-market paperbacks a few years ago, mostly ones we’d gotten from an emptying-nester.) Some of these catalogued books are “family” books and not strictly mine but…most of them are mine.

Another thing: this was motivated by needing to double-fill shelves, so I figured I’d catalogue while reorganizing. And this way it matters less if I can see all the spines…I hope?

I was planning to post about The Hound of the Baskervilles in sections for the Sundays in the summer (i.e., before the boys return to school). I was intending to start last Sunday but my anxiety about the job was so high I could barely function so let's see if I can catch up a little but keep with the plan.

The Hound of the Baskervilles was published in The Strand from August 1901 - April 1902.

I actually managed to view a first edition (or at least an early edition) of it in an antique shop in one of the malls in Las Vegas when I visited there 2 years ago for the BTS concert.

It is the Sherlock Holmes work which has been most adapted, I think, into other media (film, TV, radio plays, etc.). I did a little research on the many adaptations but if you have a favorite, please drop it in the comments.

I only have the bandwidth to do the first chapter today.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 we get a deduction (which is my favorite part of any story). A prospective client has left behind his walking stick (called a Penang lawyer) and Watson and Holmes deduce characteristics of its owner. In The Annotated Holmes one scholar remarks:

It is curious how frequenly Holmes' clients took insufficient care of their property. The result was always highly satisfactory for Holmes invariably made a reconstruction of the missing client from the missing article.

[We see this in "The Blue Carbuncle" with the hat.]

Here's Holmes looking at the stick.

We will meet the owner of the stick in Chapter 2 and learn what business he has with Holmes.
